Thought I would post this to indicate that of a shorter distance Komen is much faster. Komen's PB over 1500 meters is about 3 seconds faster than that of Bekele's
Bekele has a PB of 3:32.35

True, and if you watch the video of Bekele's 15 pr, it seems like he did not have much upside from a 3:32 (at least at that point). In other words, it seemed like he struggled. Maybe he wasn't doing 15 specific training, w/e
Komen, on the other hand, duked out some epic miles/ 15's with El G, so I would tend to think he had the highest 3k potential out of El G, Bekele, and himself. Of course, the proof is in the putting. If Bekele and El G could have run a 7:20 with better pacing/circumstances, I would have to argue that Komen still had the potential to exceed either of them
